  5. Hi doctor,For a week or two now, my thighs have been really itchy. It always starts when I first get into bed and usually continues until I fall asleep. I've noticed a rash on one of my thighs. I'm pretty sure they aren't bites, and I haven't been bitten anywhere else. Any idea what could be causing this?

Nutritional deficiencies: Inadequate intake of vitamins like B2 (riboflavin), B12, and iron can affect lip health. 4. Allergies or sensitivities: Certain foods, lip products, or environmental factors can cause allergic reactions, leading to dry, cracked lips. 5. Medications: Certain medications, such as acne treatments or blood pressure medications, can cause dry lips as a side effect. Home Remedies and Prevention Tips Here are some home remedies and prevention tips to help you manage cracked lips and yellowish crust: 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your lips hydrated. 2. Exfoliate your lips: Gently exfoliate your lips with a soft toothbrush or a lip scrub to remove dead skin cells. 3. Use a humidifier: Dry air can exacerbate dry, cracked lips. Using a humidifier can help maintain a healthy moisture level in the air. 4. Apply a lip balm or lip moisturizer: Use a lip balm or lip moisturizer that contains natural ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, or shea butter. Apply it frequently throughout the day, especially before bedtime. 5. Avoid licking your lips: Saliva can dry out your lips further, making them more prone to cracking. 6.
